Ross County
- Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin named four changes to the Dons team that suffered a Boxing Day battering at the hands of Kilmarnock as they lost 4-0 at Rugby Park, before a late loss to Dundee United in a sole goal defeat at Tannadice.
- Dimitar Mitov continued in goal, as Gavin Molly returned to partner Slobodan Rubezic at the heart of the Dons defence at Angus MacDonald's expense. Nicky Devlin and Jack MacKenzie continued at right-back and left-back respectively.
- Club captain Graeme Shinnie made way for Ante Palaversa to partner Sivert Nilsen in front of the back four. Leighton Clarkson took Duk's place, in the middle of Jamie McGrath and Topi Keskinen in support of lone striker Ester Sokler. Peter Ambrose dropped onto the bench in Dundee.
- Ross County boss Don Cowie made just one change after the Staggies' wonderful 3-0 win over Dundee at Dens Park on Boxing Day, before two late goals saw them steal a dramatic 2-2 draw in Dingwall with relegation rivals Hearts at the weekend.
- Jordan Amissah continued in goal behind an unchanged back three of Ryan Leak, Kacper Lopata and Akil Wright. George Harmon continued at left wing-back, with Michee Efete again chosen at right wing-back.
- Aidan Denholm was ineligible to face his parent club, so Joshua Nisbet - who scored on Sunday - joined Connor Randall, Noah Chilvers and Jack Grieves in the middle of the park. Ronan Hale started as the sole striker, before substitute Jordan White grabbed the late leveller for County.
